Term 2, Week 1

Apples and Pears have had a great first week back for our second term. They have settled back into our school routine and we have seen some great learning too! 

This week in Literacy we have been focusing on celebrations. We discussed a range of celebrations that happen around the world. We looked at Diwali, Halloween and Bonfire night. We created safety posters and enjoyed role-playing some Diwali celebrations in the role-play area. 

In Maths we looked at subitising. This is when the children can recognise an amount without counting it. The children played a game to support them develop this skill.  The children also clapped an amount and then showed this using objects on a tens frame. 

Also linked to Diwali, we made clay light holders, which the children will paint next week. 

Thank you for your continued support and settling the children back into school this week. 

Have a lovely weekend, 

The EYFS Team.
